a little bird whispered: Ajax could be firing up for Food & Wine, June 13-14. Only one chair, probably #3. Cheapy tix and likely the first time ever for skiing during the fancy-pants Grub-N-Vino fest. Final decision, according to the little bird, is expected June 8.
UPDATE JUNE 9: “If you’ve got it, ski it.” So says Aspen Skiing’s Rich Burkley. And Ajax has plenty of it. And this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, we can ski it. Aspen Skiing will be spinning Aspen Mountain’s Ajax Express – accessed by the gondy – from 10-1, with BBQ and beers flowing at the Sundeck ’til 4. Tix for non-passholders run $29, kids for $18. What a way to enjoy Aspen’s annual Food & Wine fest.
